RESISTIVE RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY (RRAM) WITH MULTI-LAYER DEVICE STRUCTURE

A resistive memory cell is disclosed. The resistive memory cell comprises a pair of electrodes and a multi-layer resistance-switching network disposed between the pair of electrodes. The multi-layer resistance-switching network comprises a pair of carbon doping layers and a group-IV element doping layer disposed between the pair of carbon doping layers. Each carbon doping layer comprises silicon oxide doped with carbon. The group-IV doping layer comprises silicon oxide doped with a group-IV element. A method of fabricating a resistive memory cell is also disclosed. The method comprises forming a first carbon doping layer on a first electrode using sputtering, forming a group-IV element doping layer on the first carbon doping layer using sputtering, forming a second carbon doping layer on the group-IV element doping layer using sputtering, and forming a second electrode on the second carbon doping layer using sputtering.
